Abstract

An audio processing module, in accordance with the invention, includes an input for receiving input signals. A side tone generator is included for receiving the input signals and for generating a side tone to be output. A noise suppressor is coupled to the input for suppressing noise of the input signal prior to a coding process, the noise suppressor providing feedback to the side tone generator to adjust a gain of the input signal to the output. A method for adjusting the gain of the side tone generator is also included.
